Summary: Great music, Horrible sonics
Comment: I really enjoyed the music on this Lp..but, the whole reason for purchasing an Lp was for better sonics... which, on this "red" colored album, are horrible...the background noise drowns out any low level music...A "re-issue" should be done for customers who have recieved the bad vinyl...Rick

Summary: Extraordinary - As Good As It Gets
Comment: I think I came across Kings of Leon when browsing the top "Southern Rock" albums on Amazon list. They were #5 with "Because of the Times". I decided to give it a shot even though I knew next to nothing about them.
Knowing that I'm not a rabid fan, nor a chronic hater, and have hundreds of albums from almost all genres of music I can say with all honesty this album is amazing. People have described the album pretty well so I won't repeat what's already been said - but if you don't own this album and really enjoy a great rock album, pick this up. Their music is very creative, with excellent vocals, songwriting, and arrangements. Take my word for it, pick this album up.

Summary: Love KoL
Comment: It really seems that the more I listen to Kings of Leon, the more I like them. This is a great follow-up to their earlier music, and it a phenomenal album.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Really good disc ... a rarity these days.
Comment: Wonderful disc.
Guitar driven, smart,catchy, raunchy, ... wonderful.
Has to be one of the "best of" for 2007.
Better than the more hyped stuff, to be sure.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great songs, incredibly compressed recording
Comment: The LP version and most likely the CD version of the same album suffers from a fatal flaw, horrible compression, that makes you wonder why you even bothered to get a nice turntable and expensive cartridge. Someone needs to do something about this soon, as if will really give a terrible name to all other records that the band might produce.

Aha Shake Heartbreak may have blown open the doors of fame for Kings of Leon, but their third full-length album (named for a United Pentecostal Church ministers' conference) could well usher the Nashville foursome directly to rock and roll's zenith. There's hardly a change in plans for the three Followill brothers and their cousin, and that means producer Ethan Johns, a smorgasbord of musical influences, and a cacophonous ensemble of guitar, bass, and drums. A trio of relentless rockers--"My Party," "Camaro," and the sarcastic "Charmer"--are sure to pacify those familiar with the Kings' blueprint, yet there is ripening in the band's approach heard, in several of the record's 13 songs. Reverb guitar and vocals and a "woo woo" chorus add a sinister aspect to "Trunk," and "Knocked Up" features a laissez-faire Caleb Followill crooning "She don't care what her mama said/She's gonna have my baby." The seven-minute revelation of fatherhood that opens the album leads into the U2-influenced "McFearless," a reggae-splashed "Ragoo," and the rambling English blues of "Black Thumbnail." It's a rogue element that has always left every record fresh, and this time it has Kings of Leon teetering on the edge of rock renown. --Scott Holter
